Exploring ideas for affordable, sustainable, enjoyable living.

Camping is one of my all-time favorite vacation activities. Unfortunately, the price of campsite rentals has really skyrocketed. I remember spending one summer as a kid road-tripping with my family and camping all along the way. With a membership to a national campground chain, we could find a site almost anywhere for $8.00 per night. Not anymore. Many sites now range from $25.00 to $50.00 (US) per night. In some places, it’s actually cheaper to rent a motel room. That’s why I’m so excited about freecampsites.net. The site has interactive maps for finding free and cheap campsites throughout the United States and Canada.
